  3. connection in "CLX via backplane" mode (connection to the controller through access to an Ethernet communication module inserted in the backplane)
  4. reading/writing of BOOL type (1 bit) in single or array mode
  5. reading/writing of SINT type (8 bit) in single or array mode
  6. reading/writing of INT type (16 bit) in single or array mode
  7. reading/writing of DINT type (32 bit) in single or array mode
  8. reading/writing of REAL type (32 bit virgola mobile) in single or array mode
  9. retries on single channel in case of communication error
  10. inactivity time on single channel in case of communication error
Limits
ABXETH has the following limits:
  1. Maximum number of Allen-Bradley Logix5000 controllers connected is 100
  2. "bridging" connection is not managed (connection to the controller via access to another controller with bridge function)
  3. it does not manage the access to the fields of the structures
  4. it does not handle fragmentation of requests
  5. it does not handle multiple communication sessions
Minimum requirements
  1. Windows 9X, NT4, 2000/XP Operating System
  2. Development environment compatible with Microsoft Visual C/C++ 6, Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 and Microsoft Visual Basic 2008
